Your Past Is Gone — Act Today

Rabbi, how do I know what I sinned in my previous carnation? How about this? How do you know what you sinned yesterday? Forget about previous carnation. Do you even know WHAT YOU DID YESTERDAY? UNTIL you can figure out what YOU DID YESTERDAY, DON'T WORRY SO MUCH about so far away previous life. Why? Cuz I could assure you, yesterday you did something wrong. Why don't you try to FIX THAT? WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO FIX TODAY? PERHAPS PREPARE FOR TOMORROW. If a person is honest, they're not worried about their previous life. Why? They're worried about today. How can I fix today? How can I be better today? Yesterday, eh. Last week, the week before that, a shamish small, 5 YEARS AGO, I WAS LIKE A HALF AN APE. THE PERSON DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. DON'T worry about the past. Worry about today. Fix today. And bezratashem, tomorrow will be better. Don't focus on previous life, previous gilgulim, who you were, what you were, why you're here. Worry about now. Fix now. You have arrogance now. You have stinginess now. You have anger now. You have all types of issues now. Fix those now. You have no yirat shamayim now. Now you have to fix it. Not all the other things that are not relevant to you. A person that's going to pray in an honest way, already at the beginning of prayer starts crying. Why? He knows he's guilty. And in reality, it's only Hakadosh Baruch Hu's mercy that's accepting this prayer that he has.
